Does anthem blue cross cover weight loss medication?
My doctor suggested I look into some weight loss medications to help with my health goals. I'm wondering if my Anthem Blue Cross insurance plan will cover the cost of these prescriptions.

I was researching this yesterday online because my uncle needs it. It looks like some of their plans cover weight loss drugs, but you definitely need a prior approval form signed by your doctor.

I tried reading their 100-page policy document late last night and my eyes gave up. Long story short: call them directly because whether they cover it depends entirely on how much your company paid for the insurance plan.

While checking if insurance covers these meds, also make sure you focus on a high-fiber vegetarian diet. Sometimes plans only approve these drugs if you show you are already trying diet and lifestyle changes.
